Overview

  • Detroit Lions wide receiver Jameson Williams will not face NFL discipline after being found with an unlicensed firearm during a traffic stop in October 2024.
  • Williams and his brother were pulled over for speeding, and police discovered two registered guns in the vehicle, but Williams lacked a concealed carry license at the time.
  • The Wayne County Prosecutor's Office declined to press charges in November 2024, and Williams later obtained the necessary concealed pistol license.
  • This decision by the NFL allows Williams to focus on the offseason, where he is eligible for a contract extension or a fifth-year option decision by the Lions.
  • Williams had a standout 2024 season, recording 1,001 receiving yards and seven touchdowns, despite missing two games due to a suspension for performance-enhancing drugs.
